Monsters. Crashing your boat. Getting seduced by goddesses. NSFS (Not Safe For School) scenes (pretty sure its NSFS). One Eyed Monsters. Poseidon & Zeus fucking shit up.
Horny men wanna fuck your wife.
Being suspicious of your wife cheating on you with those who wanna steal your kingdom.
Pretending you’re a homeless person in your own kingdom.
Shooting arrows through a tiny hole for some reason and be like “I AM THE KING”
Something something the bed is immovable and the wife want to test if it’s a trick by the gods then you get mad at your wife because you think she’s cheating, but then she reveal its actually a prank.
Made no sense whatso ever.
Hey at least it’s more interesting than the bible.
Ulysses not the Odyssey, the Odyssey is a dull book about boring men fighting clever battles compared to the trip that is Joyce’s Ulysses.
It’s a bit of an odd thing to experience the real-life version of a place that I was first intimately introduced to in a literary and fictional capacity. For Joyce, having grown up in Dublin, it was almost the complete opposite — his fictional works, including the modernist masterpiece “Ulysses,” were reflective of the Ireland he already knew well. Joyce once famously said to a friend that in writing “Ulysses,” he wanted to “give a picture of Dublin so complete that if the city one day suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed.”
His attention to detail throughout the entire text is almost absurd in its specificity, especially given that Joyce had emigrated from Ireland long before writing “Ulysses” and relied on his own memory and extensive correspondence with friends and family in Dublin to confirm the accuracy of his references.
What do you think Ulysses is about?
